Ultimate’s activation and deployment strategy is designed to reduce overall project complexity and <br />ensure our customers achieve the following common goals: <br /> Realize a rapid return on investment <br /> Provide a lower total cost of ownership <br /> Deliver sophisticated solutions to small and mid-market organizations <br /> Enable Employee and Manager Self-Service and self-configuration <br /> Command a high user adoption rate across the solution <br /> To achieve the goals listed above, we have engineered a best practice product deployment schedule and a software <br />configuration sequence for each product. The product deployment schedule depicts the best practice sequence and <br />duration to deliver each product that can be purchased from Ultimate Software. This sequence and durations can be <br />tailored to meet your specific business needs. The best practice product deployment schedule is as follows: <br /> Core UltiPro HR/ payroll contract date + 16 weeks <br /> Time Management contract date + 16 weeks <br /> Life Events contract date + 18 weeks <br /> Recruiting contract date + 18 weeks <br /> Onboarding contract date + 18 weeks <br /> Performance Management contract date + 20 weeks <br /> Benefits Open Enrollment seasonal <br /> Compensation Management seasonal <br />The software configuration sequence for each solution details logical segments of full functioning software that <br />supports your business processes. Each segment is referred to as configuration iteration. Each iteration consists of the <br />following steps: <br /> Collecting and profiling relevant data elements <br /> Analyzing the data elements <br /> Configuring features and functions <br /> Unit testing <br /> Each iteration is segmented in to a manageable but meaningful set of features. For example, your first deployment <br />iteration consists of the project team configuring all required components to calculate a gross hours to net paycheck for all <br />employees. All iterations are easily recognized by human resource and payroll professionals. For clarification, please refer <br />to the figure below. It shows a sample of the overall product deployment schedule, product offering, and configuration <br />iterations:
